Gucci Resort 2013 (Reincarnation of Classic Flora Prints)

For inspiration of the collection, creative director Frida Giannini
took inspiration from the 50’s Flora print silk scarf that was made for
beautiful Grace Kelly on her personal request. The collection with a nostalgic
feel was given a new interpretation by Frida that was a balanced blend of
classic and contemporary fashion.

The breezy and floral collection had a silhouette and
colour palette of late 60’s & 70’s.With a colour palette of pastel shades,
the collection had a strong vintage feel to it. The key pieces of the
collection were - a snakeskin T-Shirt, A-Line dresses with 60’s detailing,
tapered pants, denim pant suits & dresses with house’s classic Flora
prints. My special mention would be the evening dresses in pastel shades and
with jeweled embellishments
in the neckline, which added the element of elegance to the collection.

For
me the collection was a celebration of simplicity in a chic way, something that
is always timeless.
